    Default First Saber! How Am I Doing?

    Greetings fellow sabersmiths!

    I decided that I'm going to try my luck at constructing a custom saber, and after looking at my different options I settled on TCSS. I'm going for a saber with electronics, sound, and a blade. I just wanted to post my parts list here with a few questions to get y'alls ideas/suggestions

    Here's what I have so far:

    Blade:
    Corbin Battle Blade, double wrap, bullet tip
    (what blade retention screw will I need?)

    Hilt:
    Blade holder style 12 w/heatsink
    Hilt style 3 w/16mm AV Switch hole
    MPS Pommel Style 7
    MPS insert style 1
    MPS Clip
    16mm Momentary Red Ring Switch (primary)
    16mm Momentary Stainless Switch (aux)
    5/8" D-Ring

    Electronics:
    R/G/rB Cree XP-E2
    18deg Cree Star Lens
    Prizm Sound Module v4 (so I can color change and some other stuff)
    28mm Bass Speaker
    Thermal Tape x2 (in case I mess up the first one)
    MHS Speaker Mount v4
    28 gauge wire
    .47 ohm .5 watt resistor (x2 for green and blue)
    1.2 ohm 3 watt resistor (for red)

    Battery Option 1:
    Li-Ion Batteries
    18650 Single Cell Holder
    OR
    Battery Option 2:
    4AA Battery Holder with mount (this wouldn't include speaker mount)

    Also, I'm not really sure how to get heatshrink (which heatshrink do I need?).
    Thank you all so much for your help

    Default

    You will need a resistor for your red AV switch.

    I would go 18650 over the AA.

    What are going to do for chassis parts?

    For heat shrink, I use all diff sizes and just picked up a variety pack from elsewhere.
